2018 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Interior

The interior is quite unlike your average competition car. This version will retain the G8 seats from its predecessor, but with 3LZ ultra-trimmed leather seating surfaces for more comfort. The new model also comes with new standard Competition seats which are specifically built for cornering. The seats are built with pronounced side bolsters to keep the drivers safe and comfortable during a competition. Further refinement is achieved by new sueded micro-fibre inserts.

2018 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Engine

The 2018 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is not just any other fast car. It is home to a 1.7 liter diesel supercharger, achieving up to 700 horsepower with massive air intakes from the front bumper. One thing that fans can’t wait for is the first mid-engine version of the Corvette, and according to reports, that is exactly what the 2018 Corvette Z06 will be. The car also comes with an optional 4WD capability, which may not be different from the previous versions, but with the supercharger, it certainly is going to mean something.

Initial spy shots indicate that there will be a variety of colors for this version of the Corvette.
